Over the last couple of years, both Barack Obama and Vladimir Putin have attracted worldwide criticism for the actions of their respective administrations - Obama for unwavering support of sweeping and unconstitutional surveillance of US citizens and allies, and Putin for "secretly" invading a neighboring country and killing a whole bunch of people. But you can say at least one thing in favor of them both: they haven't tapped into dimensions of eldritch power to raise a monstrous army of undead Soviet soldiers.

Not yet, anyway. I honestly wouldn't put it past Putin.

In Wrath of Obama, the latest magnum opus from developer Ankaar (of Fuhrer in LA fame), the leaders of the United States and Russia join forces to oppose Vladimir Lenin. The OG Commie has risen out of Hell and has brought thousands of soldiers from the Soviet Union with him, intent on world domination. In a combination of top-down space shooter and lane-based strategy gameplay, you'll use both Obama (riding a horse and armed with a giant Smith & Wesson) and Putin (riding a bear and armed with a rocket-propelled grenade) hero units to take on the Red Dead Army.

The satirical game actually has a story, made up mostly of laughably bad Photoshop stills and political impressions that are authentically awful. Wrath of Obama is a very reasonable $1.20 (or approximately 60 Rubles) in the Play Store, with no in-app purchases.

"Putin for "secretly" invading a neighboring country and killing a whole bunch of people."

Says western media. You mean the Nazi socialist government the US undemocratically installed in Ukraine that's killing their own people? Ask anyone from Ukraine who they prefer, it won't be Obama. Sickening that games mocking a serious situation no one cares enough to be educated about, are being released right now

I am from Mariupol, Ukraine, and we know exactly what kind of "Nazi Ukrainian government" is trying to invade our city from Rostov, Russia, so STFU.

Allen

I would very much like to hear your account of what's going on. You're closer to the problem than I am but I also keep in mind that governments lie. Just right now I trust Russia over Canada (my government) and USA

Zinho

Yeah governments do lie, but it's insane to trust Russia, there's too many questions that are still unanswered over the Boris Nemtsov murder (CCTV cameras magically pointing in the wrong direction when Nemtsov was killed and a fucking snow plow turns up and blocks another camera on a very unsnowy night in Moscow) , last time I checked Obama's opponents in Congress have not been killed... same with Harper's critics in Canada, all very much alive. Let's not forget all the arms flowing from Russia to that very nice man Assad (sarcasm). You have to be on crack to trust Russia.

Allen

I don't particularly trust Russia, I am a Canadian citizen and I'm aware that Russia has their own form of propaganda. But people who are aware of what's happening to our country have to rely on Russian media which is clearly more truthful and corroborates with our own alternative media here.

The Boris Nemtsov murder was a CIA murder, thats why you didn't see our media covering all the details on that. Even putting that aside, it is clear that the US will take any steps necessary to demonize Russia in the press in order to justify lumping Christians into the same sentence as ISIS.

Our politicians here only pretend to be against each other (republican vs democrat, conservative vs liberal) and there is no need to go killing members of the opposing party. Our governments are on a steady and mostly successful path to socialism and soon communism, a murder within our own politics would cause people to wake up faster. And this propaganda war against Assad and Syria so suddenly is only to allow ISIS to invade yet another democratically elected and sustainable society. Look at all the other countries that got invaded by western countries in the middle East

Zinho

The Nemtsov murder does not benefit the US in anyway, it benefits Putin quite a lot, these allegations are just government propaganda from Russia, they even blamed Islamic militants at one point which is insane.

Let me explain Syria to you, back in 2011 and years prior to that there were droughts which caused crops to fail in many rural parts of Syria, these people then flooded to the major cities and there was food and water issues which then resulted in protests, Assad started killing these people and a civil war started. Saudi Arabi, Qatar and Kuwait then saw an opportunity to remove Assad and began sponsoring foreign fighters to help the local Syrians and around 2012 we were already seeing reports from aid workers of up to 50% of the oppostion consisting of foreign fighters, the jihad had begun. This isn't conspiracy, a lot of mainstream media covered this.

Isis exist because the "democratically" elected governments of Iraq and Syria brutally repressed Sunni's over the last 10 years, and extremists took their chance, Assad is a monster but so is radical Islam. Maybe kicking god in the ass and embracing socialism would benefit much of the planet, much of western Europe is pretty peaceful and offers a fine standard of living, better than Russia for certain

Allen

I'm not even disagreeing with you, you provide good insight. But the fact is: US, UK, and Israel funded and created al-quaeda/ISIS.

So because Saudi Arabia, the country who funded and worked with USA on the 9/11 crisis.. As well as arguably the worlds biget violater or human/women's rights, says we need to topple Assad, we have to? I'm not even saying Assad/Putin/whoever are good people, I'm saying currently under their regimes, Christians and Jews can live there in peace (not so much Syria now)

Btw western Europe is far from peaceful, there is more division and choas there than even in Canada right now

db

Let me explain the Middle East to you, its not for Americans. America is for Americans, well, actually its for the people your slave owning founding fathers massacred, but that's a different story.

America, cant solve anything. Stay the fuck out the Middle East. And many of their, and almost all of your problems will be solved. But it looks like you numbskulls are going to bomb Iran instead and dig yourselves deeper into a hole.

Oh, and if that's your understanding of Middle East history, I would suggest you keep it yourself.

db

Fair enough. But Russia is still a million times more trustworthy than the United States govt. The latter have been known to lie repeatedly to invade foreign countries and murder millions of innocent people.

Ed

So what happened to Ukrainians preferring Putin to Obama that you mentioned in your first post? They don't now all of a sudden? You'll never understand the plight of the plight of the Ukrainian people unless you live there or are part of them. Neither of which you are. Here is a man who took advantage of a country in a weak position and a bad situation, just to further his goals, and made it worse. He gave weapons to untrained people's in Eastern Ukraine bent of waging nonstop war until they get what they want. These same people have destroyed a commercial plane already. These rebels have broken every peace treaty they have made and the their soldiers are adamant that there will never be peace while they breath. These are the same ppl have have installed a fascist gov't, while saying that the Ukrainian central gov't is fascist. These ppl have also started religiously discriminating others if they are not Russia Orthodox (Ukraine has some history of sectarian violence between differing Christian groups and this just made it worse). And some how the the Ukrainian gov't, The EU, and the US are the bad guys? Funny. Putin annexed a part of the country that was not his and that the majority did not want to join Russia, as they wanted to be a SEPARATE NATION from both Ukraine and Russia. Putin doesn't care though. But, no, Ukrainians do not like Putin and that is why we have been petitioning Western Europe and the USA to help us. Had our previous democratically elected CORRUPT president, who stole billions of dollars from the ppl, joined the EU like the majority of the population wanted none of this would have happened. But he instead wanted to further enlarge his pockets and his power, like Putin, instead of doing what the ppl have been yearning for the last decade. And you have the audacity to imply that we prefer Putin or the rebels. No thanks. You can move to Russia and enjoy him all you want. I'll live in Ukraine, which is not Russia and not Putin's, so he and his rebels can go live in his great country and stop invading other countries, which I don't get, considering Russia is so great live in. Educated yourself and watch some of the plights we have to go through that you do not understand:https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLw613M86o5o7DfgzuUCd_PVwbOCDO472B

What about the plight of the Saudi people ? Oh, that's right, who cares when we've got that sweet, sweet oil ?

Ed

Not the US, but Putin could care less. What about the plights of the Iranians, Iraqis, Palestinians, North Koreans, and so on? You have to start somewhere. The US is to blame for many problems in the Middle East, but Russia is to blame for what is happening in Ukraine. Just because someone is suffering some where else does not make it it right for others to suffer as well.

Guest

But what about the plight of the Chechnyan people? Oh, that's right, who cares, when Russia has them under control.

Allen

You very obviously don't live in Ukraine and you aren't fooling me

How do you explain why the Ukrainians were recently protesting outside the US embassy, "yankees go home"?

Ed

You got me. I guess Vetli, Volynsk, Ukraine, where I live, does not exist.

Why don't you link the video? I easily linked videos that showed you people on the eastern side of the country wanted this civil war to end, but you can not link your sources?

Ed

But thanks for your points. You really have me at the corner by proving all my points to be incorrect.

Ed

As you could not provide me the source, I searched for it myself. What does recent mean to you? Is it 1 year back? That is when that protesting took place. It took place during the Euromaiden. They wanted the US not to meddle in their political affairs. It is a much different a more serious situation with one side being armed by a big nation and it is not the Ukrainian army. But I do not see your point? Does this prove to you that Ukrainians prefer Putin over Obama? Does this somehow mean that everything I said was not correct or somehow taken out of context?

I'm not up on internal Ukrainian politics. While I'm fairly certain that Putin is essentially a gangster pretending to be a statesman, I honestly don't know the nuances of the civil war going on in Crimea. From my perspective it seems like nationalists in Russia took advantage of a bad situation and made it worse.

But pretty much every government in the world agrees that the surface-to-air missile that shot down a civilian airliner was provided by Russia, and probably operated by Russian soldiers as well. Ask those Dutch and Malaysian passengers whether they care about internal Ukrainian politics, and whether they think Russia should have interfered.

Oh. You can't.

Allen

There is no civil war going on in Crimea. The war is in the Donbass region. The Crimeans are happy to be safe in Russia and not part of the mess that the Ukrainians are struggling with.

Watch Crimea For Dummies on YouTube

Guest

You mean ethic Russian Crimeans. The rest of the Crimeans, including the Tatars, are now facing discrimination. Some also worry for their safety for having a not so great outlook on Russia. I'm sure they are really happy to be "safe" in Russia.

Ask millions of dead Iraqis and Afghanis, whether they think America should have interfered.

Oh. You can't.

At the very least, why cant Americans shut the fuck up? Why must they pretend to have a moral high ground when the whole world knows that they often worse than the people they demonize?

Bob

lol if you can't see any shades of grey in this, then ur just a loon. As for your initial question, 200k dead and 3m homeless Syrians would have preferred the west to intervene (check the reports there).

Guest

Or even the Chechnyans or the Georgians.

I'm not saying the US is without fault, it clearly is not, but this US hate really needs to stop. I don't see why ppl can't just hate war in general no matter who starts it. I do really hope war-hawks do not win in the next elections (probably would be Bush and Putin all over again, selling a war no one needs).

Billy

Ask the dead Chechnyans, Afghans, and Georgians, whether they think Russia should have interfered.

Oh. You can't.

Why can't Russians shut the fuck up? Why must they pretend to have a moral high ground when the whole world knows that they are often worse than the people they demonize?

Matiss

Dear, you for this purpose what to tell about Chechens and there Georgians, on more particularly study as through Georgia and through Ukraine, to bands the weapon arrived.

And to blame that that my country entered federal troops into Chechnya, having forgotten to primomnit that Chechens cut out till 94th year the Russian population and Christian.

And when you remember about Afghanistan, I one will tell you the USSR not Russia, and everything is connected with it, wine not only the USSR, but also the USA who Talibs and modzhakhet sponsored the weapon there. Or you think that it not so?

Note to you, all to ignoramuses concerning the USSR is Russia. The USSR not Russia, and 15 republics in the union, where the CPSU pravishchy party. And there, more rights than the Russian person had nats.menshistvo.

Concerning Ukraine, I to you wouldn't get a subject at all, you live on other ocean coast, and I don't know as of the Russian people violently did Ukrainians. War which proceeds in the territory of Eastern Europe, this continuation of civil war of the former Russian Empire. Which was disorganized for the American dollars and DM.

I apologize for the English. My native language German and Russian and Carpatho-Russian.

Guest

I wonder who the Chechnyans would prefer? Ask anyone from Chechnya who they prefer; it won't be Putin. Sickening that the Russian government is going around in full Nazi attire, bombing their own citizens, and nailing them to crosses and burning them.

And you don't bat an eye, while Russia has been periodically "killing a whole bunch of people," but you start to notice it when a country is civil war. And instead of being reasonable and blaming both sides for the deaths that have occurred, purposely and accidentally, you blame the side that is protecting it's sovereignty from a nation that has historically been trying to destabilize and control that region.

On another note, Siberia has made it known that it wants to be part of the US. I'm sure Putin would have no problem letting a referendum be held and allow Siberia to cede from the Russia. Right, guys?

Charles

I'd buy this if I could play Lenin and take both of them out.

Andrew Mackoul

The beginning was good like I though it was good to share with my friends, but after, it was just terrible.

ffd

"and Putin for "secretly"
invading a neighboring country and killing a whole bunch of people."

Invading countries and killing people? Wait, arent you still talking about America? Ooops! I didnt see the word neighboring. I must admit, America has never invaded Canada or Mexico! My bad.

Allen

They have invaded Canada in the past, we still have cannons and battlefield memorials in my city to prove it, about 200 years ago. And our laws that are being put in place now allow them to "legally" do so again. No thanks I don't need my country turning into current Baltimore. Soon all of America will be what Baltimore is right now, thanks to Jade Helm.. And the idiots who keep watching the news and don't want to accept that Nazi Germany could happen again in the same manner, to the US this time

Harry

ah man the second I read 'Russian media a million times more trustworthy than the Western media' I LOL'd and stopped reading. A nice collection: http://www.stopfake.org/en/news

Also, love the whole 'Ukrainians prefer Russia', while all polls suggest Euromaidan was broadly carried by the Ukrainians, and over 90% disagree with any Russian intervention (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euromaidan).
